Venus Anchisam Assaraci filium amasse et cum eo concubuisse dicitur, ex quo procreavit Aeneam eique praecepit, ne id apud homines enuntiaret. Quod Anchises inter sodales per vinum est elocutus. Ob id a Iove fulmine est ictus. Quidam dicunt eum sua morte obisse.

It is said that Venus fell in love with Anchises, the son of Assaracus, and slept with him. As a result she bore Aeneas, and she warned him never to disclose this to anyone.
However, Anchises told his friends when he was drunk. Because of this, he was struck down by a thunderbolt from Jupiter. Some say that is how he died.
